Pasting graphics from Adobe PDF file to visio drawing.

[Andrew Chu]

I am using visio 2000 with windows 2000 OS installed
machine. When I do cut and paste from PDF file to visio
drawing, the drawing have "blur" image. So, I printed from
clipbook viewer, the image was fine. I looked for help
section with Adobe Acrobat & Microsoft visio and tried
many things, but I was not able to have fine print as like
when I do with Adobe print out. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks,

andrew Chu

quality printing comes from the ability to interact with an object at a
discrete
'metafile' level. When you do your copy/paste into Visio what format are you
using. BMPs by there nature tend to get very fuzzy. The Adobe products
under the covers are post script like thus their clarity. You might try
paste
special in metafile format.

Al,

Thanks for your quick and kind reply. But, when I look in
the paste special, "source" is unknown and "as" box I have
2 choices of "windows device dependent bipmap"
and "windows device independent bitmap". It does not give
me an option of "windows meta file". Could you tell me
what do I need to make the option available?

Thanks,

Andrew Chu
